Mens Health Test

Home blood test for men's health

Preparation

• Timing: Take the test in the morning (ideally Monday through Thursday, avoiding weekends or bank holidays) before eating breakfast. Check if your test requires fasting. 
• Hydration: Drink 1 to 2 large glasses of water about 30 minutes before starting so you are well-hydrated. 
• Warmth & Flow: Warm your hands by washing them in warm water or soaking your non-dominant hand for 4 to 5 minutes. Swing your arm in a circle 10 times and clench your fist to stimulate blood flow. 
• Setup: Lay out a clean, flat surface or stand by a low table so your hand stays positioned below your elbow or waist level to use gravity. Open your collection tube and lay out a plaster in advance.
